People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Your brakes came with a plastic wedge to keep the brake pads apart when the wheel is off. Use the wedge.

You should also learn how to depress your rotors, (ususally with a 10mm socket), with your brake pads out.
